i've been mulling over the idea of a TSR Custom brush for a while now and recently got in touch with Teiste who forwarded my ideas to Leon.
all things considered i thought about a super-duper badger\boar mix brush but of a higher quality than the much loved Vulfix 404
lots of things to consider so here is the e-mail i received from Leon
Hello Hando,
The member Teiste told me that the forum is interested in having a custom made brush by Semogue.
I'm happy that you chose Semogue for this. So far, I've conducted 2 Limited Edition brush projects and a 3rd is on the way and everything seems really happy with the final product.
I need to know several things:
The loft dimensions;
The hair type I already know - 75% Pure + 25% boar, right?
What handle do you want;
How many brushes do you want. A minimum set of 50 are required, but the more you order, the less will cost each brush.
Take care and talk to you soon

i've been told they have tried a prototype mix with a 50\50 mix of Pure badger and boar.
apparantly it didn't quite work, or as i was told it wasn't as good as the 404
if this is to go ahead the majority will decide on how the final product will look
handle - wood or acrylic
loft
knot make up
etc
my own view is that it should be Best badger hair
slivertip would make it too expensive, Pure would be too prickly and once the tips of the boar split you need a good match
ratio of badger to boar i thought 60-75% badger but i know antdad would have it the other way round
anyway lots to talk about and discuss, first off i'll run a poll to see what kind of numbers would be interested
everything else to follow
